Okay, crying every salon, education, calm, and I really wanted to get this wonderful transformation. We have to do today on the camera because they feel like this is something special this time of year and really any time of year. They want a big change and they're, not necessarily sure what direction to go when they've gone really really gone. They now realize they don't want to upkeep, or maybe it was a little too rough on their hair, and you want to dial it back with something. That'S going to easy to grow out and just give it a little bit more, naturally one. So this is our lovely model Jen, who has been an amazing blog for quite some time now, and it's just excited to sort of dial it back a little. So I've been discussing cars at our vessel in action. We'Re going to sort of do a reverse volley up. I'M going to go through with very similar sectioning that I use on Bali Oz, but instead of eating my leg to create that highlight, I'm going to go through a certain age in the dark on to create that project. So I'm discussing with her my course of action is going to be to use semi-permanent color for a couple of different reasons. One. I want to make sure that, if the look that she liked and she's going to want to say that that I'm using a semi-permanent doesn't to that just in case you decide, you know what I got a mystical, I'm the other benefit of that is eventually. I know she's going to want to continue to Bali as you look, but we're going to need to add highlights to keep that look going. So when using a semi-permanent, I know that with my Bali I was like energy in the way it will lift your semi-permanent color, easier and cleaner, which will mean that when we transition from adding dark to adding light to continue that, look, I'm sorry, I'm not gon Na be fighting against myself with having put a really dark permanent color in there. So in discussing what colors I suggest for her, she, she had some ideas and we sort of work together back and forth, explaining to her that with the goals that we have in mind. For this I wanted to use something that's close to her natural so that, as that grows out, she doesn't have another line of demarcation. So we've only got a fraction of an inch of room here to work with, which is good, because then the the blonde that I leave will be like a very close highlight that was left very close to the sky. So I think we're deciding on somewhere between a level seven and eight for her low light, because then it won't be so dark that the color comes out Hollow going over. This really light blonde, but it'll definitely be dark enough to add that depth and that dimension. That she likes so we're gon na get started Nadine lifting alright. So here we are, we've got all of Jen's color on and she's now processed, I'm getting ready to take her back to the watch house, but I wanted you to see it first to really get a little bit of a visual for those that prefer to learn That way on what we did here so again in trying to give her a nice grown out sort of post summer, her nice natural highlights have sort of become that balayage we went through and I started working off her natural part because, just like, when working with Body eyes, you want to work off of a natural part anyway, kept her natural part, and then I went through and just did just like your typical single process, retouch, where I just went over her route, just to make sure that it was going to be a Nice even color from route through the end, so natural part single process, retouch being careful not to feather it too far out, and then I went back through starting in the back making sure that you have an end idea in mind because, as I went through each Of these sections, I wanted it to end up as more of a highlight, focusing on the end being lighter, but still having a little bit of a low lighted effect. So some of the sections I went through and just like in a balayage video I left the outside of the V of that section blonde and just painted the inside and then some of the sections I went through and actually use my fingers to smoosh it from The roots down through almost to the ends that way it breaks it up a little bit so that it's not too solid of an effect, because I really want a natural feel to this, and we all know that the most the best way to have something natural Is to have it be kind of erratic, so, as I came up through the top of her head, the top sections right in the crown, I actually brought the color all the way through to give a little bit of a veil of Darkness, where it'll show that It grew out after I did that going all the way through all four quadrants of the head. I then did what you do in any Bali. I looked at her in the mirror and I saw what areas felt like they were going to be a little too solid and then just went in and hand painted a little bit of a low light. Knowing that I used a sheer demi-permanent color. So it's not going to be a dark stripe as much as just a nice shadow of dimension, really highlighting the blonde that she already had. So now we're going to take her back and wash her out and then the step that you're probably not going to see. I am going to overlay everything with a nice light level, maybe a nine or ten sheer semi-permanent color just to marry everything together. So there you go we'll see in a few minutes at the end result alright. So here we are with the finished product just like. I said I went in with an overlay of the whole thing after the lowlights were all done. It was a semi baiji mixture of warm and cool colors at a level 9, just to kind of marry everything together to make sure that there wasn't too stark of a difference. I didn't want the the blond to look like that. Just bleached out blond anymore. I wanted to be in a soft color to go with the freshly colored roots. So now, as you move through her hair, you can see the dimension that's been put in there. It'S not too much of a shock to her system. She still feels like a nice bright blonde, but, as you can see, when the hair moves we've got just like when you do balayage you've got the the highlights actually framing all the layer work, whether her hair gets pulled back or if she wears it down, and It travels through the back. You can see. We left it having that that darker overlay up top just helps to create a nice story so that, as you get through the lengths here, it just gets lighter when it gets through the ends. So there you go guys. Hope you enjoyed Jen's little transformation, be sure to subscribe and check us out at free salon. Education, com thanks, you
Comments
DaniiiGriswold: Love this, I'm doing this on so many clients this season! I would love to see a video on the process you did on this! You always have the best tips and tricks and would love to watch the whole thing pan out :D
ToonieMama: Beautiful. I have the same situation with my hair. I'm tired of the blonde and I want to tone it down a bit. I like how natural this looks and she still has the highlights and lowlights. So pretty!
Royalblue Londonlee: Love it thanks for sharing! I'm both visual and audio when it comes to learning. I had to watch it again because I got confused but I think I got it and I'm looking forward to trying this technique on my clients.
Jennifer Jahns: Been looking for a tutorial like this, was so hoping to watch the process. Nice results!
Hairspray, Makeup & Me: Thanks so much for this video. I've been looking for a tutorial like this for awhile now. I'm planning on doing this on myself. I do have a couple questions. 1. Why didn't you use a demi? 2. Why didn't you do a filler? and if you were to do it, how would you do it? 3. how big were the sections? 4. what brand did you use?
Jeepergirl: Just gorgeous! What a great color for her. That's a great technique for adding low lights to bleached hair. Thanks for sharing & explaining every step.
Tracy Leicher: OMG -- she went from looking fried to looking like a natural blonde. WOW
Wbills: This looks stunning! Thank you
Hello Lollie: I loved the outcome! Great work!
Anissa Zepeda: Wow that looks so natural! Great job.
Brian Haire: Ok, so here's the root/lowlight formula. I used Paul Mitchell Shines XG because I didn't want to use permanent color, but wanted the consistency and opacity of this particular line. I know it sounds a little crazy, but it's how my brain works and I liked the final outcome. 25 ml 7N 25 ml 8N 10 ml 7PN 10 ml 8PN 5 ml 9NB For her overall shine I used PM Shines 9NB (45ml) and 9BV (15ml). The root color processed for 35 minutes, shampooed her, then overplayed the Shines for another 20 on towel-dryed hair.
Subrina Anderson: Beautiful!! I love the soft dimensional look of her color.
brama: You did a brilliant job, It was way- all too one blonde color and what you did was perfect. She must love it.
Barb Butler: Very nice. Thanks for explaining so well.
Layla J.: It would've been VERY helpful to see the actual process. If it was left out intentionally then why do a video?? Am I wrong??
scorneli1202: Looks really good! Very natural result. I wish you would have shown the actual process of how you achieved this.
Angie Grimes: would have been nice to see the application in process too, but looks fab at the end so i will use my imagination lol cant wait to try this on a client. p.s love the over head blow dryer attachments too, not seen them in salons in the uk.
sweets4now: Amazing transformation
Erica Lynn: This came out so good!!
Lpg 8: How do you keep the color from darkening the rest of the hair? It would seem that when you wash it, the highlighted parts would become dark.
Louise Loessy: I so want that color! Absolutely gorgeous...
Buffy Alten: Looks fabulous!
angela ali signorelli: You did a great job!
itscarolinemary: I have platinum hair and I'm always contemplating on getting this... but it's hard to say goodbye to all of the money and effort I did to get it light :( I also have blunt straight across bangs so I don't know how a balayage/ombre effect would really work with bangs?
Suzie Ward: Would have been more educational if you showed the actual placement process.
Sophz: You guys always seem to do a lot of 'straight onto the hair' coloring/lightening. How do your colours not bleed whilst resting on the left over blonde sections? Is there a particular brand that doesn't bleed? Especially as semi-perm's can be runnier in texture. Please tell me the secret!
Trin Murray: Very beautiful! I hope she loved it!
jamie yng: How do you prevent the dark semi from bleeding into the blondes?
Duanne peverett: It'd also be helpful if he mentioned the colours he used as being blonde most hairdressers know you have to add a bit of warmth to prevent the colour from going khaki
Laurynn Burns: The semi permanent hair color also doesn’t blow up the cuticle of the hair like permanent color does. You don’t want to put permanent color to the midshaft to ends. It just basically “tones”/glosses it to the desired shade.
J. R.: explains very well!
Alex Flores: love!! great outcome!
Hunter Hower: unbelievable...Looks utterly amazing.
longtimewife Lisa: Love. Sending this to a girl to try to talk her into this much more natural look. Did you us same formula on root area and balyage area? Did you fill the blond at all? What was your formula?
Dulce Acosta: good job but i think i will understand more if you show the application process!
Joanne Hebert: Good work, very beautiful
: i was a hairdresser for 5 years (well 4 year apprenticeship and 1.5 years qualified work) before i moved abroad for uni etc... im graduated uni now and watching ur videos make me miss being in the salon so much ..
Polina Perri: nice result, however it would be more helpful if you show the process in details
Teresa Ruiz: Love it!!!
Rodrigo Lopez Santos: What an artist! outstanding!
Devin Dufauchard: The end result looks amazing but more showing less talking for the visual learners please!
Andromeda V.: Looks great!
Nilka Flores: beautiful I love it
Nathan Tisdale: Such a nice colour :)
Jessica Q. Carlon: Gorgeous!!
Sina Ha: hello which exactly color did you use for the root?
tami harwood: great job, I wish the lighting in your studio was a little better. It looked a little Violet ish. I'm sure it's all just the lighting. Other than that great video thank you for the information!
All Things Elyse: formula for the semi root color? its gorgeous! bravo!
Kristen: I know this video is older but people are going to always do their own hair at home. I enjoy watching tons of other educators online because they realize that sharing the tips and tricks doesn't hurt their business. I have gone to plenty of different salons and high end mind you and I never get the results that I want, so I bleach and tone my own hair. The hair salon I get my hair cut at probably doesn't like it but sorry no offense I get better results on my own,
J. E.: Good Job!! really would like to of seen the whole application though,what products did you use please?
Susie Carranza: Please make a video with the application, it will help us better understand the process. Good job on final result though!
RubyRed: Hi Brian, Would you please share with me what was your gloss formula? RubyRed
Amberli Carrasco: This is amazing.
Brittany Romero: What color did you use for the lowlight? Like a 7 ash?
Zeynep Gizem Karakaya: how could someones hair looks soooooooooo much healtier after process? are you magician?
gigi xo: My roots are about 4 inches and both my hair and roots are the same colour as hers, would this work on me?
Nathan Heckle.: is there a video that shows the full process of a reviers balayage
Chris Colours Hair: Just noticed at 1:25 the client in the background got burnt by the hairdryer But anyway lovely result! :)
Lotta: Does anyone know any video, where I can see the whole process with instructions for this??? :/ I just can't find video with reverse ombre hair
Alexandra Stone: What color dye did you use??
Jamie Evenson: Great video Brian!To everyone who didn't get it by his explanation- go back to hair school!
Annika Lemas Ramos: It'll look better after several washes I'm sure.
alibinx19: Damnit. I wanted to see the process of the color placements!
Dixie San Diego: Again, why skip the most important part application???? I totally agree with Stephanie.
LA WhispersASMR: Ya maybe someone can answer why bleach stops lifting after a certain point. I’ve done it three time now in a two months and it won’t lift any more than what it is
Tereza Malley: Also what colours did you use?
Joanna Tymińska: Nice! What color did you used !
Sara: Does the dark color washes out after a few washes?? Or does it stay? Beacuse it is a demi permament color??
YOANDRA BARRIENTOS: Beautiful
SAM KOZ: Love it! Also the Stylist is very cute
Tereza Malley: Is there a full video of this
Paula Rice: Nice result, but I wanted to see the process.
Alex Williams: Too much talk and no demonstration
Valerie Crowe: much better color on her. fantastic job
tinkerbell716: Ok this looked really good
Loilo Loiujm: vraiment sa couleur est très belle.Rien à voir avec son ancienne couleur
Dulce Acosta: good job but i think i will understand more if you show the application process!
llarraify: I came for the part what you cut out actually. :/ Like to see people working, it's so relaxing
HeadNtheClouds: I do not like the Demi permanent on bleached hair. I have been unable to find anything that doesn’t look like that fake looking coppery pink. Don’t you see that when you look at the finished hair? Is this as good as it can look or is there another product that will look like a natural brown?
Barbara Rivera: It would've been nice to see the application. First he says semi and later he says Demi?
Dasha Iatsenko: You didnt show anything!!! what everyone wants to see is the process, thats why we are here.
Pixie Chiquita: No actual process and why would you start a video when someone is using a hairdryer??
Matt Borovsky: What does hollow actually mean?
O S: 1. What is the color? 2. Why don't you wait for the blow-drying to finish before you start speaking?
mildred mercado: i was pain attetion to the tatoos more.....i am going to see it again
Sara Sofia: i love this colour. too bad i live on the otherside of the world
Noelia Jaime: The only reason i watched the video was to see how you separated the hair to add the darker color and blended it because it's what i need to do.Dissapointing.
lunaticatiga: i would like to know the colour that you used and developer. Not mentioning even the whole process..
TOM A: Hello Good chanel Why u dont show us the process the colors the oxygen
Marah G: I couldn't really see the finished look that well because you kept running your hands through her hair. :\
anabellaparis1: Why didn't you just show us the procedure instead of explaining it later
Erica Garza:
Mama Mia: too much talking and barely showed her head and the process, which the process is what we want to see
Kayla Brown: Why didnt you show the technique ?
dustin Overstreethair: Ok it was suppose to be a tutorial but I think I missed the tutorial part
Hanna Pajanen: There’s no education here!! Very disappointing to not see what was actually done to the clients hair >:(
Marcella: So basically, it didn’t work! She no longer looks blond...
lena happy: she came to dark,just me..lol...her first blond, was very nice, and just a bit of cool roots,she'll be better....I think,she will go blond again...girls, with very blond her, always go back...roots or foils...etc...I done it to, from platinum blond...black,brown,auburn ,red,caramel,chocolate ,foils...... back to platinum again...lol.
caerulea0: its a little bit too ashy for me
carmendoeshair: I was surprised he chose semi and not demi. Hmm
